If the collapsing core is extremely massive ... forming an incredibly dense neutron star. When two neutron stars orbit each other, their gravity pulls them closer until they eventually collide ...

In this environment, Mumpower’s team suggest that energetic photons in a jet collide with protons to create a neutron and a pion. Since these neutrons are have no electrical charge, many of them could ...
